The power button is on the right-hand side of the frame while the volume rocker is on the left side of the device.
At the rear of the OnePlus 10R, there is a vertically placed rectangular camera module that houses three camera sensors. Just like we saw on the Realme GT Neo 3, the large primary sensor is on the top, with two smaller lenses below. But unlike the GT Neo 3, the LED flash is placed at the side of the camera sensors.
